Customer Reviews

This drill does it all!
I'm in the process of building a house and this drill is one of my star tools. It can put over 200 5/8" holes through 2 pieces of 2x treated lumber on a single battery charge. Plus it has the torque to handle self threading auger bits with ease. The extra handle is easy to adjust and remove and the compact dimensions meant I only had to break out the right angle drill for a couple of holes. I've also used the 15.6 V baby brother to this drill and have nothing but praise for it too. For my own collection I decided to spend the little bit extra for this model for it's extra torque and power. The difference in weight between the two is not that great.

best cordless drill
This drill is the best cordless I have used, and I have used Black and Decker, and Dewalt.
The power is unequaled.

I am so glad I bought this drill!!

Wouldn't have expected it
This drill puts all others to shame. I have worked with them all over the last 27 years and feel comfortable saying that so far this is the best. It was recommended by a fellow cabinetmaker that had been through the same battery and inconsistent wows. I found his recommendation hard to believe but he was very adamant about it, and now I know why.
